Wisdom among University Students in Oman in the Light of Some Variables

The aim of this research was to examine wisdom among Sultan Qaboos University students based on specific variables. Wisdom was measured using a questionnaire that was designed for the study. The questionnaire consisted of 28 items that included three dimensions (life experience, openness, & emotional management). The sample included 490 male and female students from all the university colleges (2016-2017; academic year enrollments). The survey validity was assessed using face validity. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the reliability of the questionnaire was .87. The findings showed that the majority of students expressed a medium level of wisdom (69%). The results also indicated that gender, college, age, place of living (on campus, off campus), and region were not significant factors that influenced the students' levels of wisdom.
